Colfer, Eoin Artemis Fowl
Hyperion Book CH June 23, 2009 1-4231-2452-9 / 9781423124528 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Eoin Colfer describes his new book, Artemis Fowl, as "Die Hard with fairie s." He's not far wrong. Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. With two trusty sidekicks in tow, he hatches a cunning plot to div est the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. Of course, he isn't foolish enough to believe in all that "gold at the end of the rainbow" nonsense. Rather, he knows that the only way to separate the little people from their stash is to kidnap one of them and wait for the ransom to arrive. But when the time comes to put his plan into action, he doesn't count on the appearance of the extrasmall, pointy-eared Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lowe r Elements Police Reconnaisance) Unit--and her senior officer, Commander R oot, a man (sorry, elf) who will stop at nothing to get her back. Fantastic stuff from beginning to end, Artemis Fowl is a rip-roaring, 21st-century romp of the highest order. The author has let his imagination run riot by combining folklore, fantasy, and a fistful of high-tech funk in an outrageously devilish book that could well do for fairies what Harry Potter has done for wizardry. But be warned: this is no gentle frolic, so don't be fooled by the fairy subject matter. Instead, what we have here is well-written, sophisticated, rough 'n' tumble storytelling with enough high-octane attitude to make it a seriously cool read for anyone over the age of 10.

Colfer, Eoin The Arctic Incident
Disney-Hyperion May 6, 2003 0-7868-1708-9 / 9780786817085 Paperback Very Good
Rocketing readers back into a world of modern fairies (they pack heat and w ear motorized wings), Colfer here reunites 13-year-old antihero Artemis wit h his former kidnap victim, Captain Holly Short, an elf officer with the LE Precon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance) squad. As the erstwhile arch enemies join forces to squelch a power-hungry pixie's coup attempt in one w orld and to rescue Artemis's long-missing father in another (he's being hel d for ransom by the Russian Mafiya), the boy proves he has a heart after al l, even as he builds his reputation as a world-class criminal mastermind. O nce again, the roller coaster of a plot introduces a host of high jinks and high-tech weaponry as Colfer blends derring-do with snappy prose ("The bro ad grin disappeared like a fox down a hole") and repartee ("Hey, Mulch, if you listen really hard you can just about make out the sound of nobody givi ng a hoot"). The resulting fantasy hosts memorable characters, many of whom (such as the flatulent dwarf Mulch Diggums) reprise roles that helped attr act fans to the first adventure. The author ratchets up the body count in t his return engagement (perhaps too steeply for some tastes), and the high-c oncept premise may be a tad slick for others, but Colfer's finger is firmly on the pulse of his target market, and along with extra helpings of sly hu mor ("The sprite's breathing calmed, and a healthy green tinge started to r eturn to his cheeks") he delivers a cracking good read. Ages 10-up.
